The developers of a new, hybrid manufacturing process that combines laser material deposition with turning (or grinding, or milling) claim it allows high-strength materials to be applied quickly and ...

Laser machining, as one of the most significant micro/nano-manufacturing technologies, shows the capability of achieving ultimate accuracy, feature size and surface integrity at atomic scale. This has ...

Gigahertz femtosecond lasers are suited to enhance and regulate laser machining quality to engineer the physicochemical properties of materials. Materials scientists seek to understand the ...

Researchers have resolved a long-standing debate surrounding laser additive manufacturing processes with a pioneering approach to defect detection. Researchers from EPFL have resolved a long-standing ...

Semiconductors are an integral part of the inner workings of medical devices, assisting in the conductivity between a non-conductor and a conductor to control electricity flow. In turn, the assembly ...

Mass-change processes are characterized by the removal of material through the use of mechanical, thermal, chemical, or electrical energy. 1 In most instances, the workpiece density is not altered; ...

Engineers at the UD Research Institute developed a laser system so successful in its initial intended use in composites processing that the institute opened a new lab to exploit the technology into ...

When it comes to machining, the material that springs to mind is likely to be aluminum, steel, or plastic. We don’t necessarily think of glass as a material suitable for machining, at least not in the ...

Understanding which AM processes are achieving flight qualification, and why, requires engineers to think simultaneously about process physics, material microstructure, ...

Boise State University researchers have unveiled a cutting-edge approach to manufacturing flexible hybrid circuits—reducing costs, waste, and environmental impact. Their work leverages the properties ...
